england's failed delivery

Get rid of Gareth Southgate.  Way too cautious and defensive, and we've got to the final more through luck, perseverance and individual moments from outstanding talents, not good management. I still haven't forgiven him for the way we capitulated after going ahead against Italy in the last Euros, when we had them on the ropes and should have gone for it, rather than dropping back and inviting the pressure, as they have done so often. England had a decent 30 minutes in the first game, an excellent first half against The Netherlands, and rode their luck for the rest of the tournament, against some teams that were nowhere near top flight, apart from Spain.
